Diament gave Bush Lauren a check for $10,000 that will provide over 90,000 meals to hungry children, and thanked guests, including his business partner Robert Samuels and the British Antique Dealers Association (BADA) who he was welcoming to their inaugural year at the Show.

Some of the country’s leading designers including Geoffrey Bradfield and Danielle Chiel were on hand to check out the more than a billion-dollars’ worth of collectibles from exhibitors from around the world.

Rau Antiques, Ophir Gallery, Pat Saling, Rehs Galleries, Sabbadini, Sandra Cronan, Sylvia Powell Decorative Arts, and Willow Galleries filled aisle after aisle with one-of-a-kind offerings.
